Steel Against Sky

There is a large sculpture in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden that for most people is viewed as a whole construct.  However, I chose to go under the center of the sculpture and view it looking straight up against the sky where all the components meet.

Canon 7D, Tamron 10-24mm, ISO 100, 10mm, f11, 1/60 sec. 3 exposures, 1 1/2 stops each way.

Out of Darkness…

At the root of all beliefs lies the redemption of light,

which rescues us from the fear of darkness.

In the New Year, may we all find our path out of darkness,

and be beacons of light in the world.

Abstract Reflections

 

Human-made objects with reflective surfaces often create unexpected art.  In this case, the reflection on the flat surface of this building in the heart of downtown Chicago creates the illusion of three dimensional space.

Bridge Framework

Architectural objects have always attracted me because of their use of geometry. The collection of lines and shapes creates intersections, which I believe are the starting points for art. Where things meet, tension occurs. Where the combination of the objects come together, be they lines, shapes or texture, something new now exists.
The attached image is the result of focus stacking, three images focused at different points along the structure and merged in Photoshop. Shot with Canon 7D, Tamron 60mm f/2 lens, ISO 100, f/4.0, using aperture priority.
